chapter 2

[brokiomi]

[action: 9:00 AM]

[If anyone comes across Tokiomi early in the morning, you will notice him step out of his home, plan to go downtown and then notice the numerous zombies that decided to have a picnic (just a term, not an actual one) sitting there on the street. His first reaction is surprise, and then when they come forward, seeing as how he doesn't have any magic he begins to back up into his home.]

[phone: 9:30 AM]

Hm... I was not expecting to see the deceased up and walking around during my stay in this town. Can any of you possibly explain this odd situation?

[action: 10:00 PM]

[The only weapon that Tokiomi has in his hand is a fire poker, though he appears to be expertly using it in fending off the zombies as he makes his way into John Doe Park. His reasoning? While he wouldn't outright admit it, he is worried for his daughters and, if they are caught in a bad situation, he wishes to be able to protect them.]

[Someone has obviously been having a zombie bonfire, as several zombies are flailing and burning while others have already been reduced to piles of ashes.]

[A spurt of fire barely misses his face.]

Who are you? Speak!

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

[Tokiomi's used to being cool under fire, so when the zombie that was near him gets set aflame and he sees what could have nearly been him, he stabs it in the face. Congratulations, Bazett. You have just given Tokiomi a flaming fire poker that he uses to defend himself while speaking toward you.]

Tokiomi Tohsaka. By the sound of your voice, I believe we have already spoken.

[She squints at him.]

Yes, I believe you are him, him.

[She calmly snaps the neck of a zombie that gets too close to her.]

Be careful. These things do not stop even if you destroy the nervous systems. You must incinerate the body completely.

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

It is a good thing that I have your assistance then.

[WHOOSH! With a quick slice, the inflamed fire poker sets a zombie ablaze.]

[The temporarily crippled zombies are also lit on fire.]

Where are you heading? If you have not regained your magic circuits, it might be smarter for you to barricade yourself in your house.

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

Even without my circuits, I am not going to sit idly by and hide like some dog with his tail between his legs. As long as I am able to defend myself, that is what I intend to do.

Re: 10:00 PM

[answerer_sword]

The best way to defend yourself would be to remain inside. Unless you intend on defending others as well.

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

There are a few others that I wish to protect, yes. I believe you should worry about yourself far more than you worry over me.

Re: 10:00 PM

[answerer_sword]

I am your daughter's ally. That makes me your ally as well.

[More zombies are smashed as she speaks.]

They need their father, and not in the form of a corpse either.

[Even Matou, because her uncle is not currently in Mayfield.]

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

I don't intend to die here.

[Tokiomi's tone shifts to that cold curtness Magi are most known for.]

Re: 10:00 PM

[answerer_sword]

Then stay close to me.

[It is best when both of them are being cold and business-like.]

10:00 PM

[brokiomi]

[No arguments here, as Tokiomi goes into a more defensive stance with the poker.]

[And Bazett, of course, barrels her way through more zombies. Even though the lack of a corpus callosum has somewhat hindered her precision, she is still capable of crushing bones with her punches. At the same time, she is protecting someone else, so part of her attention is also directed toward him.]

Are you still alive over there?

[She turns to call toward her partner. Of course, she is distracted one of the twitching corpses that she forgot to burn.]
